Dear,

I lost my phone, and now that I have a new one, I can no longer use the Microsoft Authenticator app for verification. I still have my email address and password. How can I log in to my account?

Thanks for your support.

    If you lost your old phone and can’t use Microsoft Authenticator, first select Sign in another way and try another registered verification method such as SMS or phone call.

    If its a work/school account - no other method is available, contact your Microsoft 365/Entra administrator and ask them to remove the old Authenticator registration and require MFA re-registration. Then you can sign in with your email/password and set up Microsoft Authenticator on your new phone.
